Ney Collection: Flutes of the Middle East
The ney is an ancient end-blown flute with deep roots in the musical traditions of the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia. Used in both classical and devotional contexts, the ney is renowned for its distinctive, breathy tone and its expressive capacity across a wide range of musical styles.
This collection features a variety of neys handcrafted by skilled makers, representing regional differences in construction and tuning. Instruments are available in both Arabic and Turkish styles, with variations in pitch, length, and fingering systems. Materials range from traditional giant cane to modern synthetic alternatives, offering options for students, educators, and professional musicians alike.
Each ney in this collection reflects the cultural significance and craftsmanship of its origin. Whether used in performance, study, or collection, these instruments provide insight into one of the world's oldest continuous wind traditions.

Just what my harp needed!
I was looking for the right equipment for my Camac Isolde Celtic harp. I did NOT want to install the Dusty Strings pick-ups- seemed like way too much to add. This little gizmo was easy to install with the little pictures on placement- like, less than five minutes easy. I plugged the pickup into my new Roland Mobile Cube and it’s perfect! I don’t hear any sound distortion, and I think this will be just right when playing background music for noisier environments. Super happy with this!

Awesome quality!
I was excited to receive this kit. I do have several banjos already; however, I did not have a mountain banjo. I have built gourd banjos and ekontings (I went to Gambia in 2004 and 2007 to learn how to play and make them) from scratch, so I am not a beginner in terms of making instruments. I had a lot of fun putting the kit together. I do have a few observations regarding tips or slight modifications in the instruction manual, if interested.
Thanks!

Beautifully crafted
I am very happy with the quality of the instrument. I am of Puerto Rican decent and it reminds me of my childhood, watching the musicians and learning to play myself. It is a beautiful guiro and sounds amazing.

Beautiful sound
It's great to be able to buy a hurdy gurdy in the US without having to wait for 6 months to a year or more. The Aplo is a quality entry level instrument that produces beautiful sound. It resonates very well and there are no buzzes or squeaks. Workmanship is very good. I got mine cottoned, rosined and tuned in a half hour. The transaction was easy and it arrived within a week.
I've been able to play some tunes on it with only a few hours of practice. It's going to be a lot of fun.
Hurdy Gurdy, Aplo
